"She was not well enough to leave the hospital to attend today's hearing, where her parents are trying to win a temporary conservatorship," reports TMZ.

The site adds, "According to the law, doctors can only get such an order if the patient is 'gravely disabled as a result of a mental disorder.'"

Bynes was initially hospitalized on a 5150, 72-hour psychiatric hold after starting a fire in a stranger's driveway last month. The 72-hour hold was extended to two weeks, which has just been extended another 30 days.

Bynes' parents will still reportedly pursue a temporary conservatorship, which would allow them to control their daughter's finances until she is well.
